media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

-===========
-
-All Digital TV frontend devices support the :ref:`FE_GET_INFO` ioctl. It is
-used to identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to

-takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
-When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
-returns an error.
-

-Capabilities describe what a frontend can do. Some capabilities are
-supported only on some specific frontend types.
-
-The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.

-On success 0 is returned.
-
-On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
-appropriately.
